Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain is coming. We’re compiling every rumour, fact, screenshot, tweet, trailer and sniff of information about the project from the day it was revealed until it launches in 2015. We must be mad, but you know you love it.

Early this morning we got some details on and a trailer for the bonus mission that Xbox family editions of Ground Zeroes will include a bonus scenario set in in same location as the main game except you control Raiden in a fight again the body snatchers. Explanations for this inside.

Confirming long-held suspicions that Hideo Kojima will not live forever while continuing to make Metal Gear games in perpetuity until humankind becomes extinct, Kojima himself told Xbox Wire that at some point somebody else will be in charge of making new entries in the popular stealth franchise.

We’ve gotten to stare at Old Solid Snake’s face on the cover of MGS4 for more than five years now, but soon we’ll also get a game box with regular-aged Naked Snake as well, as that’s pretty much all the cover for Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Knomani tweeted out is.

Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes’ Snake is voiced by 24 star Kiefer Sutherland, much to the annoyance of many David Hayter fans. Kojima has explained that the demands of the role needed someone like him, and helped raise the bar in terms of expression and performance.

Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes has been given a confirmed Spring release window on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Director Hideo Kojima has also confirmed the link between the game and The Phantom Pain. Screens inside.

An actor is going to appear in Metal Gear Solid 5 as “the one you thought I would be from the start”, apparently. If this were any other game, I’d probably bury this story in so much salt just looking at it would close your arteries.

The Phantom Pain was discussed by Moby Dick Studio’s supposed CEO Joakim Mogren – who appeared on camera with his face covered in bandages – he dodged every question, but did give host Geoff Keighley a look at some new screens, which revealed something interesting indeed.

According to MetalGearSolid.nl‘s translation of an interview on MetalGearSolid.be, Kojima Productions’ Ken Imaizumi said Hideo Kojima’s GDC presentation will be livestreamed. GDC sessions are normally filmed and made available after the show, but Kojima’s presentation is unusual in another way, being 90 minutes long. Kojima will discuss the FOX Engine and show footage of Metal […]

Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes will be shown during Hideo Kojima’s GDC ’13 session, along with his studio’s FOX Engine. Originally, Kojima was only going to show off the engine, but thanks to an extended slot, he is showing off more of the game live.

Metal Gear Solid voice actor David Hayter has conducted a very weird Twitter poll, asking fans how they’d feel if he didn’t return as the voice of Solid Snake. Is he just trolling the world, or is there a slight chance he may not be returning? Judge for yourself.

Hideo Kojima will detail the FOX Engine for first time through a demonstration featuring Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes at GDC. The session, “Photorealism Through the Eyes of a ‘Fox’ – The Core of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes” will show some of the “key components and unique methods” used in the game’s development, according […]
